I had an idea

Last year, over the January holidays I had an idea.

I love mini quilts and have for many years.

Deciding a mini quilt was a worthwhile holiday project, I looked through my block books. Choosing just one was impossible and that's when I had a light bulb moment.

Now I'm sure you know that feeling, you're on holidays and you imagine yourself starting and completing multiple projects.

You set yourself a goal which in reality is going to be difficult to achieve and don't let this unpleasant truth intrude on the moment of blissful planning.

 

 

Of course I decided to challenge myself

1. pick blocks starting with a different letter of the alphabet,
2. choose different layouts and sizes for an eclectic mix
3. make one each fortnight.

Sounds achievable and fun!

By year end I'd have 26 mini quilts or blocks to display on a wall.

How cool to have a mini quilt alphabet!

 

 

Are you surprised and shocked to learn I fell well short of my goal!

I still love the idea and since I have some free time with the cancellation of classes, pop-up shops and postponement of AQC I may just make a few more.
